PROCUL NEGOTIIS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: I think that if I had a farm
Last Line: Was nicely fixed myself.
Subject(s): Holidays; Thanksgiving


I think that if I had a farm,
I'd be a man of sense;
And if the day was bright and warm
I'd sit upon the fence,
And calmly smoke a pensive pipe
And think about my pigs;
And wonder if the corn was ripe;
And counsel l'homme qui digs.

And if the day was wet and cold,
I think I should admire
To sit and dawdle over old
Montaigne before the fire;
And pity boobies who could lie
And squabble just for pelf;
And thank my blessed stars that I
Was nicely fixed myself.
